About: I have lived and had pets my entire life, often dog sitting my friends and families dogs which has become a hobby of mine. I work a job that I can do remote so I am able to be home just about anytime. My wife and I have a 8 year old cockapoo named Louie who is very friendly and enjoys other dogs company around our house and in our big fenced yard. Louie is a pretty calm dog and gets along best with other pets that are also calm and not aggressive towards him. I work full time during the week 9am-5pm but I am remote twice a week so I can be available on my remote days anytime or weekends. Other days I am available early mornings and evenings. My schedule is structured around my pet and yours will be too! We go on walks twice a day weather permitting and at home our pets have access to go inside or outside to our fenced yard at there own leisure.

About: I've had pets for my entire life, whether they be dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters or even snakes. I have always been active in the caretaking of my family's pets. I am the go-to dog sitter/walker for multiple households and am trusted enough to be given my own keys as well as garage codes. I always do my best to make sure the animals are well taken care of and to keep my client's home clean. I am a college student, and as such have a significant amount of free time. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. I always attempt to center my daily schedule around any pet care that is on that day. I do not currently offer dog boarding, but I always take great care to ensure that my client's home remains intact and sanitary. I make sure to only use dog food/treats provided by the pet owner to avoid potential complications involving diet or allergies. I also take steps to avoid potentially exposing my clients to any allergies that they may have, such as peanuts.

“Five stars to Devon!!! She’s the best dog walker ever. She cares so much for our fur balls and I know they are in good hands with her. Very trustworthy. We’re moving out of town and so sad we won’t have Devon to walk our dog after this month. She even got our pets a going away present. Unexpected and so sweet!!!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Sydney as a dog walker! She was incredibly responsive and available to help me at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She was punctual, and even went above and beyond by offering to feed Ferda when I was running late and bringing in my Amazon packages from the porch. Ferda (my young English Springer Spaniel) and Shoka (my old house cat) both warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about how kind and trustworthy Sydney is. She kept me updated with adorable photos and videos from their adventures, which made my day every time. I will definitely hire Sydney again in the future! Highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and coworkers for 15 years. I have experience with multiple breeds (cats and dogs) and I am available for drop-in visits and walks. I can occasionally help with overnights as well. I grew up with animals and am a huge animal lover. I would love to meet you and your pets to see if it's a good match. I typically schedule meet and greets before confirming a booking to ensure it is a good fit for both us and your pets. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! I work remotely full-time, so I am flexible on location during the day. I have previously worked from clients’ homes throughout the day to spend extra time with pets during drop-in visits. I care for pets in clients’ home. I love animals and treat them as my own. I am happy to discuss any care needs ahead of time to make sure you are comfortable.

About: I have had dogs all my life and now that I'm older I own two myself. I've always had a love for dogs but for me they're more than just man's best friend they're a part of your family and they should be treated as such. Caring for your dog in your home they will be treated just like a part of my family as I treat my own dogs. While working through Rover I also work under another company called Nomad at Home Caretaking where I am able to learn from the owner on how to run my own dog sitting business myself. Caring for animals is my passion and I love what I do. I treat everyone’s pet with the utmost care and comfort while your away so they never feel alone. I cannot wait to hear from you! Hope you have a great day! For walks I am available between the hours of 9 and 5 and after depending on availability. This would also be the same with drop ins. House Sittings I will be gone usually 4 to 6 hours maximum during the week and 3 to 4 during weekends unless otherwise specified. I care for pets as though you never left the home! I do my best to keep all pets on their normal routines and schedules so they feel more at ease while your away. At my home currently I have a large yard with multiple tie outs but they will never be unsupervised outside. Inside I have a good floor place for cuddles and play!

About: A vet-tech that has always been passionate about taking care of animals and of course loving them like my own. I can also help train your puppy on basic skills or provide any special care that your fur-baby may need! I am currently working as an equine vet tech, so the length of my days can vary, but I am open to working around my schedule to provide your pet with the best care possible! Whether you need someone to check in on them while at work or someone to watch them while you have a little getaway, I’m just one text away for anything you may need! Rest assured that your fur-baby will be safe with me.

About: Dogs are ALWAYS allowed on furniture. They will get tons of play time and if they are really active, they can go with me on some hikes! I work remotely so there will always be someone at home with them. Plenty of potty breaks and head scratches! Whatever they need, they will get! I work from home so someone will always be with them. There is a large park across the street that I will take them too if they need to get some energy out. They will be well taken care of!

About: I’m an animal lover who will take care of your pet like they are my own. My husband and I currently have a mini bernedoodle. My Sheltie passed away 6 years ago at the age of 15 so I have a lot of experience caring for dogs. We also have two cats so I definitely have experience with them too. I have petsat for several family members and friends over the years. I work in education but I took this school year off so my schedule is wide open. During the school year, I would be available before and after school during the school year and anytime during the summer since I’m off all summer. I can easily crate your dog if you want. I will treat them like you would. Cuddles will be given (if they allow) to make them feel comfortable with me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Africa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Africa is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,446 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Africa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Africa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Africa after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Africa. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
